My Degree Is Associates Degree Prenursing. That is what it states on the dipolma. All it was is me completeing all my prereqs for a four year nursing program in north carolina at a community college but i moved to south carolina and the bsn program i got accepted to in south carolina told me i was accepted but i had to take some extra classes. I didnt want a associates degree in nursing because i can do more with a bsn and to me it was wasting time by getting the associates in nursing. hope this helps sailor nurse

Thanks Gen. I am not under the NCP though. I want to be. If not that program (NCP) what other program can I go into the Navy under being that I have to go to school for three years where i will get an allowance and all that good stuff like the NCP? Kawain

I just recieved my acceptance letter to one of the top nursing schools in South Carolina. I want to join the Navy Nurse Corps. I am a former Marine. I already have an associates degree in pre-nursing and I had applied to finish my last two years to get my BSN so i can go into the Navy Nurse Corp. When I got my acceptance letter I found out instead of going to nursing school for my last two years, the nursing program told me I had to go for 3 years instead. What kind of programs are out there for me with three years of nursing school left? I need info and advice. I think the NCP is for 2 years only. Can you help please!!!?? Thanks Kawain

Sorry, I am in school right now. I am taking biochemistry and also statistics. I have a AS in pre-nursing already. Hope this helps. Thank you both for you advice. I greatly appreciate it Kawain

Thats what I was going to ask LCDR Dan. How are you suppose to work full time and go to nursing school full time? I was wondering that. I want to focus and concentrate on my studies and not have to worry about a full time job. I read what you said about your sister-in-law and wanted to know did you have anymore suggestions? You give great advice and this forum is lucky to have a great source of information like yourself.

So even though I havent been accepted yet its ok to start the process? What happens if iI am not accepted? Whats an officer interview and what does it intel and how and where is it conducted LCDR Dan? Thank you both so much for answering my questions. Kawain

I am a former Marine waiting to hear back from two nursing schools I applied for to see if I have been accepted. I should know somethig by mid November. If so I will be going into my junior year of nursing school. I was wanting to know when should I start getting the process rolling for the Navy's NCP and what do I need to do? Any advice? Thank You Kawain

I am a former Marine now going into my 3rd year of nursing school. I am thinking of doing the NCP $10,000 bonus and $1,000 month stipend for 2 years while I am in school. I am trying to size up the pay with civilain and military nursing ( NAVY). I was in the marine corps for 3 years and i want to know if I join the Navy as a Nurse what will my pay be. I know that I will be an O1 with three years prior enlisted. I will be living out in town. The two bases thath I wanted to look at for BAH purposes are Camp Lejuene and Portsmith VA because I know those are training hospitals. I also know thath those two places are not guaranteed. Just wanted to use those two for the BAH like I said to get a good idea. Also I am single as well if thath needs to be known. What other pay is put into there? Can Some one help me with this and come up with a number please. I greatly appreciate it. Oh By the way....Are there any new bonuses or extra money or anything special thath they are offering new nurses thath are in school right now to come join the Navy? Just want to make sure. Also I wanted to know how long do u have to wait to apply for DUINS when I come on active duty? I know i have to work in ICU and/or acute care for a year before I can apply to a CRNA program which is what I am going o do. I am looking at becoming a CRNA when and if i go in and I know the navy can help me achieve this. Thank You Kawain
